When I got there, the RECOMP
was on the pallet next to one of the 35s.
I read something on the RECOMP I that it also had the ability to talk to
a "Teletype" device.
Wonder if one of the 35's may have been connected to the RECOMP I.
Even if the console typewriter can't be found, this is still an amazing
find. The disk-based fixed head main memory on the RECOMP machines is
pretty unique, and has a lot of history behind it (including earlier
digital differential analyzers and easlier computers by Autonetics. I
also believe that there's a power supply unit that is separate from the
logic box. When scorounging around, you might want to keep an eye out
for that.
